Police officer kills self in Imo

A police Sergeant attached to Access Bank branch at Ahiara Junction in Ahiazu Mbaise local government area of Imo State, simply identified as Paul Joseph, has reportedly committed suicide.

Joseph, who was said to be due to be promoted to the rank of inspector, was said to have shot and killed himself on Wednesday over alleged frustrations of life.

The incident, it was learned, drew the attention of a crowd, who stood in groups chatting and wondering what could have pushed the policeman to kill himself.

According to sources in the bank, the incident happened around 7.00 am when the bank staff were resuming work for the day, only for them to hear gunshot from their security house at the gate.

Upon enquiry, they discovered that the policeman had killed himself while his colleague was out to the junction buying food.

It was gathered from some police officers within the vicinity that Joseph, who was reported to have hailed from Taraba State, had in the last two weeks voiced frustrations over life and had been telling family and friends that he wanted to end his life and go to heaven.

One of the policemen, who spoke to The Nation on condition of anonymity, said “Last week, we were all here when he called his wife around 4.00am in the morning and told her that he was tired of his life. In that call, he said it would be better for him to die and go to heaven.

“His wife, I learned, called one of his friends as well as a senior police officer and complained to them about the call from Joseph. But, I think they didn’t take her complaints seriously because her husband was about being promoted and had no reason to kill himself.

“But it was yesterday being Tuesday that we noticed that he was serious about what he was saying when we were drinking at the bar and he said he would kill himself.

“The strange thing was that he didn’t quite say what his problem was. He was only saying he was tired of this life”.

His corpse, it was gathered, was ordered for evacuation by the police officer in charge of Ahiara Police Division to be deposited in the morgue.

All efforts by our correspondent to speak to the state commissioner of police, Rabiu Ladodo and the police spokesman, Orlando Ikeoku proved abortive as text messages sent to their phones were not responded to.

However, a man, who identified himself as the personal assistant to the CP answered the call put to his phone line later, telling our correspondent that the police boss would call back in few minutes.

But as of the time of filing this report, the CP was yet to return the call.

Frustrations everywhere.....

Nigerian policemen need to amend their ways to find peace

that curse "you will never find happiness " people take it for granted too much

Shock!

This next level is very very tough on Nigerians.

Spirit of the innocent hunting

We don't take suicide victim serious when they start lamenting

See what Buhari cause? b4 d end of this miserable 4 yrs, I wonder how many people will remain.

Why

Why

Why

Why

The man was obviously frustrated, thinking about where to get money for Christmas and New Year, in-laws, parents, personal needs etc.

Few weeks ago I was driving to oshodi from Agege, just close to Mr biggs, one man dressed in cooperate carrying a sack bag was crossing the road slowly like he has lost his mind and i was beeping countlessly but he didn’t hear a thing, so my colleague got down shouted at the man to hurry up and cross the road.

I looked at the man’s face and saw frustration all over him and i told him sorry for the treatment from my colleague.

It reminded me of how harsh the country is.

Sometimes when you seen people act like that, just ignore them.
Most of them are depressed and don’t even know what to do.

Anyway RIP to the dead!

Why is this post here? Op don't you know that nairalanders enjoy the death of uniform men.
RIP

Not all living humans are actually living

Nigeria police.

Is there any possibility that some people are more susceptible to depression and suicide than others? Cos it is said he was about to be promoted, to think there are people below him who are still holding on.

good riddance next

Continue, when armed robber come to your street to wreck havoc I will see where you will go afterwards.

We just need the grace of God to keep on fighting life's battle, there are challenges no doubt, but it should not make someone to commit suicide, he was ignorant of his action, how will someone commit suicide and expect to go to heaven, from the Bible, it's a lie from the pit of hell.

End his life and go to Heaven.

When he reaches Heaven and discovers suicide is a sin, what would he now do?

Buhari effect, in the history of Nigeria , never has her citizens be frustrated as this

The truth is that many of those guys are depressed & psychologically unstable. Sad that he took his life, good that he didn't use guns on the citizens before the act.

Npower self done tire for these APC next level.
